Leeds Building Society has agreed to adopt a one-mile stretch of waterways cared for by the Canal & River Trust in the centre of Leeds.
The society is moving to a new riverside headquarters alongside the stretch of waterway that will benefit from the project.
The two-year adoption will see the first year’s contribution being made by GRAHAM, which has acted as principal contractor for the new head office in Sovereign Street.
The one-mile stretch in the centre of Leeds is located between Wellington Place footbridge and Crown Point Bridge, and includes parts of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and the Aire & Calder Navigation, waterways looked after by the Canal & River Trust.
